PSN is down? and other problems.

[Generator]

Well that sucks. And I was totally planning on finally signing up for PSN today! (Well, not really, but I wanted to get in on the complaining.)

Seriously, though, I should really get going on signing up for PSN... assuming this is a temporary problem, of course.

You have got to be shitting me, I waited over 5 years to be able to play online and I am getting tomorrow now this shit happens .... story of my life.

I've been playing fine for the past hour, no problems for me...

Just read this on GI...sheds some serious light on the issue

That must be a pretty fucking serious update if it's bricking everything.

it also will not let me play any of my ps1 classics, or any ps3 games.

Usually updates get announced...right? Pretty annoying, I just wanted to kill some minotaurs after a hard day of work...but apparently we need net permission to play single player games now.

There is a massive thread (well probably more than one) over on Gamespot, so many people are having this problem. It seems to be mainly the Fat PS3s that are affected.

OH THANK FUCK DICK IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM!

I have just gotten my Ps3, and I thought that something was horribly wrong.

???
explain what "oh thank fuck dick" means.

Well, I looked it up in Websters....

Oh Thank Fuck Dick

To thank the act of Dick Fucking, or to be so elated that you thank the almighty Fuck Dick.

Bob: There's no school tommorow

Gregg: Oh thank fuck dick!

Sony will fix them soon.

Not to rag on the PS3 or nuttin but I'm so tired of their online and the ridiculous updates, I've had to do so many updates that took well over 10 minutes and I'm on Fios (25down 15up). When I went to play n trade I tried out MAG and I had to spend 13 minutes of my 20 minute test time to update the system game. While I'm glad that sony keeps their hardware up to date and their games it takes too long to update their stuff.

PC it takes no time at all 2 minutes at most, 360 is nearly instant, PS3 it takes 5-30 minutes. The worst time I racked up with an update was when I went to play Star Dust HD, it took an hour and a half, an hour..and a half that's the length of a short movie!

As much as I ragged on it here, the system is solid, has never failed me (watch that change haah) and it's quite nice, the exclusives are great too. I just wish the online/updates worked better!

I'm also wondering why my 360 updates so fast, yet the Ps3 is pretty jackshite.

It probably has something to do with the date. It's just hit 1/3 not 29/2, leap year and all that. I'm wondering if this is another thing like the Y2K theory?
All trophies have a time and date stamp. I have the same problem but am able to boot up games that dont have trophies (yes there are some, Spider-Man Web of Shadows was my test one)

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

EDIT: What the fuck? I cant even go in to play 1 player games, or anyting that requires trophys to be stored

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- AGAIN!

EDIT #2: NFS MW for ps2 works... idk what the fuck is going on...

Well, I don't own a PlayStation 3 (360+PC gamer) and the reason Need For Speed: Most Wanted works is because the PlayStation 2 didn't have the Trophy system, judging from what I've read here, that's why it works.

Yea, its unscheduled maintenance because they messed up and had to fix it.

But thanks for posting that link.
